Fused Silica

Fused silica is high purity quartz sand that has been melted to form glass.

High volume stability, low volumetric expansion and high purity make fused silica a very useful and versatile material for refractory applications, whether in aluminum launders or other highly cyclical applications.

Our fused silica, Teco-Sil® has an extremely low thermal expansion coefficient, consistent chemistry and carefully controlled particle size distribution. Teco-Sil products are specially engineered grains and powders designed for use in foundry, refractory, investment casting and other special applications.

Teco-Sil is produced at Imerys Greeneville fusion plant in Tennessee, USA.

Refractories

Teco-Sil is an extremely insulative material with very low thermal conductivity and with its good thermal shock resistance it is often used in flow control/continuous casting applications (for steel making) and glass rolls.

Products

Teco-Sil Standard grades:
Teco-Sil

Electronics

Teco-Sil EMC has very high electrical resistivity and low thermal conductivity, so is used as filler in epoxy molding compounds for semi-conductors.
We also produce a spherical fused silica Teco-Sphere®. This is a specially engineered powder for use in encapsulating resins.

Products

Teco-Sil EMC and Teco-Sphere individual datasheets are available upon request.

Foundry

In investment casting, Teco-Sil is used for its volume stability. Indeed fused silica has an extremely low thermal expansion coefficient and so very tight tolerance castings can be produced with easy shell removal.

Teco-Sil

For other grades:
Teco-Sphere
Individual datasheets are available upon request.
